The importance of wanting to learn

Kids, stay in university, it is so pressing in this country to get an education before entering the workforce, trust me! It took myself and others a honestly long time to find a job that paid well, & it was mostly because I dropped out of high university. I ended up earning my GED as a diploma, however that still didn’t look good to prospective bosses. If I couldn’t finish high university, how could they trust myself and others to commit to their company for the long term? Education isn’t always about what you learn, it’s also about showing that you want to learn, when I first started out at the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C dealership I was just there to sweep floors & help deliver the heavy component to job sites. I was basically manual labor, although I kept my mouth shut & my ears open & started learning everything I could about heating & cooling systems, my boss noticed my attentiveness & started giving myself and others greater & greater Heating, Ventilation, & A/C jobs to do. I realize now he was grooming myself and others to be an Heating, Ventilation, & A/C tech for him, because you can teach the skills however you can’t teach the attitude or the enthusiasm. When he saw that I wanted to work & I wanted to learn the boss started to teach myself and others more about oil furnaces, cooling systems, & air duct. A few months later I was taking night classes to prepare for the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C certification exam, however unlike last time I was in university, this time I was focused. I wanted to learn more about Heating, Ventilation, & A/C systems, to build a better future.
